Drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter have been dropped, a central New York prosecutor said Thursday. Stephanie Bongiovi was hospitalized after she apparently overdosed on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday. She was charged with possession of a small amount of heroin and marijuana.

The AP reports that Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara said he was dismissing the charges against both Stephanie and fellow student Ian Grant. Under state law, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana.

The law, signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in July 2011, was designed to reduce overdose deaths by encouraging people to call 911 without fear of legal consequences.

Bon Jovi, 50, still has not commented on his daughter's overdose. We're guessing while she might have gotten off easy with the law, it might be a different story when it comes to her famous father.
